Guizhou this batch of sauce-flavored liquor illegally added cyclamate! Don't drink!

The official website of the Guizhou Provincial Market Supervision Bureau recently disclosed that the bureau recently sampled 1928 batches of samples of 11 major categories of food, including 161 batches of alcohol products, 159 batches of qualified samples, and 2 batches of unqualified samples. These 2 batches of unqualified products are produced by Jinmengtai Wine Co., Ltd.

Both batches of bulk liquor were found to be cyclamate

It is reported that the two batches of unqualified samples are bulk liquor (No. 1 and No. 3) sold by Xia Xuequn Liquor Business Department of Moutai Town, Renhuai City, Guizhou Province, and nominally produced by Jinmengtai Liquor Co., Ltd. of Renhuai City, Guizhou Province, with production dates of 2019/9/1 and 2021/2/10, respectively. The unqualified items were cyclamate (measured by cyclohexylsulfamic acid) and the test results were 0.00179g/kg and 0.00614g/kg, respectively. The standard value is not checked out. The inspection institution is Zunyi Product Quality Inspection and Testing Institute.

According to the data, cyclamate chemical name is sodium cyclohexylsulfamate, which is one of the commonly used sweeteners in food production, and its sweetness is 40-50 times that of sucrose. Long-term intake of cyclamate exceeding the standard of food, may cause certain harm to the human liver and nervous system. The National Standard for Food Safety The Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014) stipulates that cyclamate shall not be used in liquor. The reason for the detection of cyclamate in liquor may be that the production enterprise illegally adds cyclamate in order to reduce production costs and improve the taste of the product; it may also be cyclamate brought in by cross-contamination of bulk wine containers in the sales process.

Corporate response: Cyclamate is added by the wine sellers themselves

On the morning of December 10, China Quality News Network dialed the company's telephone interview for related questions. A man who identified himself as the relevant person in charge of Jinmengtai Liquor Company said that the company was already aware of the results of the sampling. He also revealed that after communicating with Xia Xuequn's liquor business department, the other party admitted that the cyclamate of bulk liquor was added by itself and had nothing to do with the producer. The person in charge said that he would also inform the market supervision department of this situation.
